The ZX-10R jumps to the next step of technology for 2018, with electronically adjustable suspension and forged wheels as the marquee upgrades, for what Kawi is calling the Special Edition. The ZX-10R SE also borrows some ZX-10RR bits as well, like the forged Marchesini wheels and bidirectional quickshifter (which, incidentally, isn’t designed to work below 2,500rpm).
